One bout of stress, be it a fit of anger, fear (induced externally or generated from within), worry, disappointed love or any negative emotion-backed demands placed on your body, alters the biochemical balance of your body fluids and the harmonious working of the organs.

Therefore to treat every suspected case of malaria with anti-malaria drugs based on the laboratory tests cannot guarantee the best results. That will be unpardonable ignorance on the true nature of the disease. But if you are sure it a case of "True Malaria" and you apply the right medicines, improvement commences in a few moments and should be under control within 24 hours. Be Wise, Be Smart, Be Safe, Be Free, Be Healthy

At the best, the case is suppressed and a temporary relief is given to the patient. Then he or she has to come to the clinic, again and again, after a few days or weeks for more invasive, suppressive and expensive temporary relief treatment. It is not uncommon to see people who are branded "monthly malaria patients". So, the patient gets a temporary relieve of his or her complaints, the symptoms "disappear" or so it seems and gladly pays the hefty medical bill presented to him or her

Please don't panic! Don't mind the name. It just happened that while no one paid attention, the Gypsies found something very good in Natural and Holistic medicine and decided to popularize it. That is how it earned the name. So what is it?

One of the ways to express these loving feelings we have for the people who are important to us or live with us is through the gesture of a kiss or hug; either before leaving home or first thing on return from a journey or work. The research concluded that: "Kissing can help people deal with stress, giving them a more positive attitude" and "A positive attitude leads to better work performance, greater earning power and a longer healthier life".

You cannot fight disease with crude methods and win. Fighting it alone is an act of ignorance because that will mean trying to suppress the "voice of dissent" (the disease) which arose from your own abuses and indiscretions on the body; and the injurious lifestyle choices that you have made.

Human attitude, naturally, for the most part, is resistant to change. Therefore, lies can be told and made to fly around for a long time, to cover up some "unwholesome or unethical tracks" thereby assuming a resemblance of the truth; albeit temporarily. But there comes a time when mendacious propaganda laced with the most robust intellectual ranting and even if crafted in very sleeky, urbane flamboyant political mesmerizing oratory, cannot hide the TRUTH. That time is NOW!

The yeast extract I am referring to is Marmite. There are other yeast extracts such as Vegemite from Australia and Cenovis made in Switzerland, plus many copycats. The people I know start to eat Marmite two weeks before their journey when going to Africa. I do not know if the other yeast extracts will have the same effect.

Many a time, I am asked what my recommendations are concerning the use of anti-malarial drugs. First, understand that the prefix "anti-" means "against". So the intention of using an anti-malaria drug is to work "against malaria". Right? Well, that is if you are sure that the case is truly that of a malaria infection.
